The third antenna 170 accepting state signal 158A of the first controller 33.
In addition, the first controller 33 can determine the source of status signal 158A.
Preferably, thisly determine to be realized by specific recognition system.
Passenger is sitting on the first seat 36A, and determines the position of the backrest 56 of change first seat 36A subsequently.For this reason, passenger is mutual with control dull and stereotyped 82, asks the backrest 56 of the first seat 36A to enter and lies by position.
Control dull and stereotyped 82 and by sending change request signal 166, decipher is carried out to the request of passenger subsequently.
As before, change request signal 166 aloft to be transmitted.
Described communication means also comprises for receiving the step changing request signal 166.
Next described communication means comprises the step 204 for generation of control signal 182.
Control signal 182 depends on the status signal 158A changing request signal 166 and third antenna 170 reception.
In the case, because the state of first equipment 80A (primary importance) is different with the desired state (that is, the second place) of first equipment 80A, control signal 182 makes it possible to the state of change first equipment 80A.
Described control signal 182 is produced by control module 174.
Next described communication means comprises step 206, and step 206 is for being sent to first equipment 80A via the 4th antenna 178 by control signal 182.
Control signal 182 is aloft transmitted.
Described communication means comprises the step 208 for the first antenna 154A reception control signal 182 by first equipment 80A.
Finally, described communication means comprises step 210: the state changing first equipment 80A according to the control signal 182 of the second antenna 80A reception of first equipment 80A.
In the case, first equipment 80A becomes the second place from primary importance.Therefore, the backrest 56 of the first seat 36A enters and lies by position.
Preferably, the step 200,202,204,206,208 and 210 of described communication means repeats with Fixed Time Interval from step 200.All calculating that the movement that the described time interval is grown to is enough to the moving-member carrying out one or more seat 36A, 36B, 37A, 37B relates to.Preferably, described interval greater than or equal each seat 36A, 36B, 37A, 37B 25 milliseconds (ms).Preferably, the described time interval is less than or equal to each seat 36A, 36B, 37A, 37B 100 milliseconds.Such as, the described time interval equals each seat 36A, 36B, 37A, 37B 50 milliseconds.
Described communication means only has the advantage of signal transmission aloft.
In addition, before described communication means can be applied to each the equipment 80 of the first seat 36A simultaneously.
Before described communication means also can be applied to each the equipment 80 of each the equipment 80 of at least one seat 36A, 36B of the first side seat module 36 and at least one seat 37A, 37B of the second side seat module 37 simultaneously.
Advantageously, before described communication means makes it possible to all devices 80 of all seat modulars controlling aircraft 10.
Aircraft 10 has following advantage: have the quality alleviated relative to aircraft described in the prior.In fact, signal realizes wirelessly at the equipment of the seat of the seat modular of aircraft and the transmission between control flat board and controller.
In addition, the centralized control of the equipment 80 of all seat 36A, 36B, 37A and 37B of aircraft 10 only relates to one or two controller 33.Therefore in all wires, (will wire be re-used in case of wireless transmission) and realize quality in the number of controller and alleviate.
In addition, lack communication conductor to make it possible to simplify the installation of seat modular and the maintenance of inner space 20.
In addition, when distance between the power supply and the equipment of the first seat 36A of the second seat is less than the distance between this equipment and the first seat, can power from the power supply of the second seat 36B to the equipment 80 of the first seat 36A, therefore the electric wire making it possible to save certain distance also alleviates quality.
Described each embodiment can combine with other embodiment, thus proposes another embodiment when technical feasibility.
